Clarksville Parks and Recreation’s annual Wettest Egg Hunt was held Saturday at the New Providence Pool.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wettest Egg Hunt is a really fun event for kids up to age 11,\u201d Voorhees said. \u201cWe are just about to start the 1-2 year-old group in the baby pool, and at 1:00pm the 5-8 and 9-11 age brackets will get their chance in the pool. We also did a session for kids with special needs this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brightly colored plastic eggs were floated on the water, some had little pieces of paper that indicated a prize, others had tokens. Prizes varied for the different age groups. There were life jackets for the kids who couldn’t swim, and lots of lifeguards in the water to keep an eye on everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe smaller kids all get a fan bucket with a little bunny and a snack,\u201d Voorhees said. \u201cThe bigger kids each get a big blue bag with a toy, a skating admission, a Fazoli’s coupon, and a bottle of water. We have lots of little prizes for the kids, things like bracelets and small stuffed animals. We are also giving away some large stuffed animals as grand prizes for the younger kids. And, for the bigger kids grand prizes, we have some giant pool floats, like a swan, and a caterpillar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clarksville Parks and Recreation bought some of the prizes, but most of them were donated by Texas Roadhouse, Chic-Fil-a, Magic Wheels, Customs House Museum, and more.<\/p>\n

Voorhees says, in the baby pool alone they would see more than 120 kids on Saturday. The 5\u20138 and 9\u201311 age groups had two sessions each, with up to 150 kids per session. In all, several hundred kids were participate throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Easter Bunny is here,\u201d Voorhees said. \u201cHe is being joined by Andy the Armadillo from Texas Roadhouse, and the Chic-fil-a cow. The kids seem to really be having fun, and that’s what this is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
